About Venture Farms
The heart of Venture Farms is Caribou Creek Ranch in
Ellensburg, Washington. Located just two hours east of
Seattle, the Ellensburg valley is world renown as both a
hay and cattle producing area. With a population of just
over 8000, Ellensburg offers small town charm, and being
home to Central Washington University provides a
wonderful balance of new world culture. Ellensburg is
also home to one of the National Pro Rodeo Association's
oldest and largest rodeos, held annually over Labor Day
weekend.
Venture Farms is owned and operated by Harland "Ske" and
his wife Jody Radomske. They have three children Jason,
Kyle and Raley Mae. The Radomske’s raise performance
horses and run a first class breeding facility. They
keep about 50 commercial Angus mother cows on the ranch
also. The summer months provide grazing for 1300
yearlings on rotationally grazed, irrigated pastures.
Some of the yearlings are used as cutting stock, and in
addition to their own riding, the Radomske’s host a
couple of Cuttings at their facility each year. "Our
family is a testimonial to the fact that cutting can be
a great family sport." says Ske. He, Jody and college
student Raley Mae all compete. Ske has been cutting for
over 27 years with many National, Regional, and local
championships to his credit. Ske is currently, and has
for the past 22 years, served as a director of the
National Cutting Horse Association. He is a Past
President of the Northwest Cutting Horse Association and
of the Washington State High School Rodeo Association.
Like Ske and Raley Mae, Jody has several trophy saddles
to show her success, and in 1998 Jody represented the
United States in the International Cutting Horse
Championships in Jackson, Mississippi.
